1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

1. Cellular responses to GABA(A) receptor activation were studied in developing cerebellar Purkinje neurones (PNs) in brain slices obtained from 2- to 22-day-old rats. Two-photon fluorescence imaging of fura-2-loaded cells and perforated-patch recordings were used to monitor intracellular Ca2+ transients and to estimate the reversal potential of GABA-induced currents, respectively. 2. During the 1st postnatal week, focal application of GABA or the GABA(A) receptor agonist muscimol evoked transient increases in [Ca2+]i in immature PNs. These Ca2+ transients were reversibly abolished by the GABA(A) receptor antagonist bicuculline and by Ni2+, a blocker of voltage-activated Ca2+ channels. 3. Perforated-patch recordings were used to measure the reversal potential of GABA-evoked currents (E(GABA)) at different stages of development. It was found that E(GABA) was about -44 mV at postnatal day 3 (P3), it shifted to gradually more negative values during the 1st week and finally equilibrated at -87 mV at around the end of the 2nd postnatal week. This transition was well described by a sigmoidal function. The largest change in E(GABA) was -7 mV x day(-1), which occurred at around P6. 4. The transition in GABA-mediated signalling occurs during a period in which striking changes in PN morphology and synaptic connectivity are known to take place. Since such changes were shown to be Ca2+ dependent, we propose that GABA-evoked Ca2+ signalling is one of the critical determinants for the normal development of cerebellar PNs.
